1957 Photograph of Hemingway

This 1957 photo of Ernest Hemingway has always intrigued me. The portrait photograph was taken by Yousuf Karsh. It is hard to imagine as you look at this photo that his life began to change so dramatically in just a few short years after this was taken. For additional information of this photo and of the artist please visit a wonderful Metropolitan Museum site.

Please share this post with friends, family and colleagues, thank you!
